But the last time I checked, having a vanity site is not a mortal sin. This group can be rather bigoted and mean-spirited, tolerating Kaz, SuperOutland, and other trolls more than some poor soul who makes the unpardonable sin of being newly fascinated with Japan. Maybe if the site had more Japan-bashing, or Debito-bashing, or bashing in general, Mike would have liked it more.
